Hi Kirby,

Nice work.  I've used Mandelbrots to introduce Python to engineering
students at U of A.

The images are breathtaking in their beauty.

If I do this lecture again, I'll try a variation like yours with PIL to
generate the images.  I never could get pygame working right.  In
principle, gaming routines should provide fast rendering of complex images,
flashing to the screen as fast as I can generate them in C, but the
overhead of my function calls seems to be ruining the potential for
creating a Mandelbrot movie.
